It's Like This

One kiss too far for a single bounds leap
observe my letters curves and see how I creep
sleep, I must not, many roads to be traveled
stop, never that, soldiers finish their battles
rattles that shake in repetition bring, blessings
in the danmed, out as we sing, cling fast
to those who wish a smile when down
surround your life with lives who have found
a way to love you for the being you've come
"I AM MORE THAN WHAT I AM BUT LESS
 THAN WHAT I WILL BECOME..."
